Out over Lake Ontario, the band is starting it's northward drift. The same thing is happening off Lake Eire in Western New York. This all suggests that things are on schedule and by 1:00 or 2:00 AM, all of the lake effect in Central New York will be moving north out of the Syracuse area.

As the band moves north, some communities over northern Onondaga and Oswego Counties will experience a brief period of moderate to heavy snow.
